To my knowledge, the turf fields were only used for the U19/20 Boys semis. I definitely prefer the grass but don't feel the fields in E-town are large enough for the older ages. The U19/20 final was played on Field 5, the boys seemed to be too large and fast to be on that field.

My primary concern with the Etown fields was their size. I recalled keepers punting from box to box. That said, one of our dad's stepped off field #1 and got "60 paces" or 120 yard field. Assuming the turf fields are a football field with end zones = 120 yards, that can't be? I'm curious what the actual dimensions of the fields. At the end of the day, everyone plays on the same fields. The smaller fields reduce the importance of speed but should also reward the more skilled team that can work in tight space. My preference would be larger grass fields - unless someone can tell me that they are the same size which my eyes would disagree with.
